I have a friend that will be visiting from Japan and I am trying
to install a FreeBSD machine with some of the Japanese software from
the ports collection. So far I haven't had much success.

The only documentation I've been able to find is in Japanese. Does anyone
have English instructions or could point me at English documentation/URL
on how to install a Japanese enabled BSD system? I've borrowed a Japanese
keyboard (Acer keyboard) from a friend but haven't been able to get the system
to recognize either Hiragana or Katakana...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
